Can Augmentin be used for mucus discharge in a 2-year-old?
Hello doctor,
My baby is 2 years old, has cold with mild fever, consulted the doctor, he gave Maxtra syrup, and nothing else as chest and throat were clear. Then after four days of giving the medicine, the mucus changed to thick yellow color; the doctor said its fine and advised to give him steam. There is no improvement, so I gave him homeopathy medicine for five days. He was better but not fully recovered. Still had a running nose with thick discharge, then again my husband said to visit allopathy doctor, did so, he gave antibiotic Azilide Azithromycin 200 mg for five days. I have done the course, but no change. Again consulted another doctor, he said he has an infection in his nose; he prescribed Augmentin. I am tensed, now he is having vomiting, loose stools because of the previous antibiotic course. Augmentin yet to start. I do not know what to do as I read online that this running nose will take about three weeks to settle on its own. Please help.

Does crying lead to a hoarse voice in children?
Hello doctor,
My daughter who is 2.8 years old cried hard before two weeks and developed a hoarse voice the next day. It subsided in about three days. Before a week, I remember her throwing tantrums and crying hard for every small thing and again developed a hoarse voice. I gave warm water and honey, and it has subsided a lot.
Sometimes her voice sounds normal, and when she screams or cries, I can still feel her voice is a little hoarse. Is this hoarseness due to crying or could be any other infection? I read that hoarseness could occur due to cancer. I am a paranoid mother who gets scared after reading the stuff. She does not have any cold, cough and eats normally.
In spite of her hoarse voice, she is taking ice creams and cold stuff. If the hoarseness is due to any serious medical condition, would she have any accompanying symptoms? My main concern is cancer. What would be the symptoms of laryngeal cancer other than hoarseness? She is a very adamant kid and still screams if things do not go her way. Suggest remedies to get rid of hoarseness. Please remove my anxiety towards cancer.
